Default LED headlights

Hey guys I know I have been gone for awhile but I have been pretty busy with car shows, photo shoots, and work itself lol. But I know there was a previous thread on how LED headlights would work... well I took the chance and got some. They are currently my high beams and have 28 LED's per bulb. They are very bright white, but the only downfall is the distance the light travels is lacking. I plan on getting the low beams since I have the foglights too but I would not recomend them for an everyday driver. I tried taking pictures but the light was to much for the camera. I would recomend the foglights though.... Search "880 LED bulbs" on ebay. Cant go wrong for the price :-)

i always thought angel eyes looked pretty sweeter, i have never used any LED bulbs, thats interesting, theres no modding needed/ i have been really wanting to put an HID kit into my car but ive been kind of hedident becasue idk what kits to buy. got any kits you would recommend? my buddy got one for his chevy SUV, if forget the model but he kept having problems. i don't know the exact problems or causes but i do know that one of them was the lights turning off while driving...i'd like to avoid that :|

Did you check ouy my angel eyes I did? very easy and it catches a lot of attention. Yes I have thought about HID's but like you, idk what to trust or go with so im just going to stick with LED's cuz there reliable and the power consumption is minimal. I heard those can heat up alot to so I dont wanna melt my housing haha

Yep, just plug and play. Most (honest) retailers will tell you the LED headlights are for the look they give, but just like TS said, they dont put alot of light downrange. Not at all for regular lowbeam usage.

Exactly snyderman, there bright but def not for long range or eberday use. Its nice for a show car or something that only gets driven everyonce and awhile but other than that, they need some work yet.
